Koalathon

but what exactly is koalathon?

Every year, our Delevan community comes together for the most epic online crowdfunding campaign and our largest annual fundraiser, KOALATHON! This event runs over the course of 3 weeks, keeping up the momentum with milestone prizes & ongoing rally events. Students will have a personalized webpage & there will be incentives for everyone as we meet specific goals! Who doesn’t love popsicle parties & extra recess, am I right??

As our primary income-generating event, we execute this event every Fall to raise funds to enhance, enrich, and elevate the Delevan student experience! We are also also asked to fill the LAUSD Allocation funding gap each year, which topped $52,981 when it was requested in May for this current school year. In addition to this gap-funding, our fundraising efforts provide programming & enrichment like our campus Garden programs, After School Clubs, Skate Night, Harvest Festival, our DEI events & initiatives, family meetups, community engagement events, teacher & staff appreciation, Family Dance, classroom materials, literacy & mathematics software, & so much more!

Please help us to meet the needs of the teachers, students, staff, and Delevan Community as a whole. And if we haven’t said it enough…thank you for being a part of our community and all that you do!

Koalapalooza

October 9-30, 2026

Our Fall Koalathon Fundraiser supports our school programs for the year, and goes directly to the student experience: enrichment classes like Spanish, art and STEAM, subsidized after school clubs, schoolwide events like Harvest Fest, our garden, buses for field trips, athletic equipment, even extra staff for student support, and more.

We are hoping to raise $100,000+ which is a big goal, but we exceeded this in 2025 and with your help we can do this again in 2026! Please support your favorite Koalas, join our fundraising efforts, and we hope all of our students enjoy this year's Koalathon theme of Koalapalooza!

Koalathon Archive

2024’s theme was an “Olympics” Koalathon, inspired by our recent summer competitions. We challenged each of the school’s classrooms to create a flag with their own key idea that represents them during Koalathon. Classrooms were then challenged to raise funds, competing with each other’s classes to see who can come out on top! Of course, it’s all in good fun, but there are incentives awarded to the top classroom earners.
